Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the mushrooms

Clean mushrooms by wiping with a damp paper towel. Slice mushrooms into even pieces.

2
Prepare the aromatics

Peel and finely dice the onion. Peel and mince the garlic.

3
Sauté the vegetables

In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4
Cook the mushrooms

Add sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms have released their liquid and begun to brown.

5
Add the flour

Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to cook the flour.

6
Add liquid and seasonings

Slowly pour in vegetable broth while stirring. Add thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.

7
Simmer the soup

Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

8
Blend the soup (optional)

For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup. Alternatively, transfer half the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, then return to the pot. For a chunky soup, skip this step.

9
Add the cream

Stir in the cream. Heat through without boiling.

10
Adjust seasoning

Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.

11
Serve

Ladle into bowls. Serve hot with crusty bread if desired.
